1071: Steven Crowder

Familial Abuse & Violence, Indecent Exposure, Sexual Harassment

Steven Crowder is a political commentator who used to be on Fox News before going out on his own podcast and YouTube channel. He is alleged to be funny, in a kicking-down sort of way. His wife is divorcing him and he angry that ‘no-fault’ divorce is legal in Texas. Three states have moved to eliminate no-fault divorce, including Texas, but they have not succeeded…yet. This is rooted in the misogynistic idea that men own their wives.
